The past few weeks have been busy for all 3 of us!
Kirk - Kirk took the senior highers on a mission trip to Logan, WV. They had a great week! I was so jealous that they were there, because Logan is one of my favorite places ever! Kirk got to meet most of my friends there and became known as "Mr. Jess." He got to visit our friends in Delbarton as well. I think the students had a great week. He is now getting ready for a week of VBS, a weekend trip with senior high and college students, a quick trip to Chicago and the Jr. High mission trip to Chattanooga, TN.
Jess - Because Kirk is a great husband, he didn't want me and Riley to be home alone the week he was gone in West Virginia so he surprised me with a trip to Minneapolis! For those of you who don't know, I lived there for 3 1/2 years while I worked for YouthWorks. It was AWESOME to see friends. We got to see almost everyone I wanted to see and Riley was a trooper! I had forgotten how much I loved the cities.
Riley - Riley has been a busy girl the past few weeks. She has started teething. She chews on everything and drools all over. She isn't really fussy from it yet, which is nice. She also learned how to roll over! She is so proud of herself when she does it, but quickly realizes she doesn't like to be on her stomach so she starts to cry until we flip her back over. She is officially out of her bassinet and sleeping in her crib. We go to the doctor next Tuesday for her 4 month appointment and I think we'll get the go ahead to start her on rice cereal! She still hasn't taken a bottle, so me and her haven't been apart for more than 3 hours (ugh). She is doing better sleeping and will usually have 2 good nights and then a bad one. She loves her new activity center (she stands in it and once she grows another inch, her feet will reach the ground and she can start bouncing!). She also likes her Bumpo chair and when she sits in it, she tries SO hard to get her feet in her mouth! She has also learned how to grab and hold onto things so now I need to be better of keeping things out of her reach!
July will be a busy month for Kirk and all 3 of us will be headed back to Chicago to visit. Kirk is going to fly up with me and Riley for a few days and then fly home to take the Jr. Highers on their mission trip. Riley and I will stay for the week so we don't have to be home by ourselves when he is gone and so Riley can be spoiled by grandparents, aunts and uncles, and my friends.
